Dinner Ritualby ~Photia

Traditional Art / Drawings / Fantasy

Every night, things become incredibly awkward at the dinner table when the Beast asks Beauty to marry him. Every night she refuses and takes her leave of him. She wishes that he would stop asking; he wishes that he could.

Did I say that I was over my Beauty and the Beast mania? Sorry, I must have meant to type not over it. Silly me.
I did this in Laurentien coloured pencils, which was an experience. Colour is, like, a million times harder than black and white. I could've done this in a third of the time using pencils. Still, I'll never learn if I don't keep trying! I messed up a lot of stuff, but it's still better than I expected, so I'm proud.

When I decided to colour this, I scanned in the pencil rough. It's up in Scraps if anyone wants to see it.

Dinner Ritual by ~Photia tells an interesting, unusual side to the Beauty and the Beast story, and it does it with a wonderful technique. ( Suggested by ~kilara and Featured by `silentkitty )

I like the roses, and the window.
Great placement of the characters.

But I think yours have a pretty unique effect.

I totally understand what you are saying about color vs. black and white. But I want color in my drawings too! And hence, we try and try and try some more.

Excellent composition! I like how your central character is so prominent that when you finally take your eyes off her your amazed that the Beast was there the whole time. A very nice use of grounds.

I hope you don't mind but I featured this piece in my journal. [link]
